by a short presentation. This week's presenter, Carr Center Fellow

Court of Human Rights." In this session of “Carr Talk,” Artyom Geghamyan, a Carr
Center Fellow, will present on the idea of transitional justice,
with a focus on the role of the European Court of Human Rights. He
will examine specific examples of the cases that had a wider impact
on countries in transition, such as freedom of religion and forced
labor, expropriation, property rights, and the prohibition of
symbols of fascism and communism. He will then give a comparative
perspective on the inter-American system of human rights and the
open the floor for Q&As. Artyom Geghamyan is a fellow at the Carr Center for Human
Rights Policy. His research focuses on transitional justice issues
in Eastern Europe and former soviet socialist
